    Hello,

    I work on AIX test lpar ataai018 where Ansible is installed.

    I want to reboot AIX test lpar ataai017.

    Something is wrong i do not see why...

    The reboot is done but the "Reboot Validation failed due to timeout"...

    Does that mean a "test_command_v"  is missing ?

    We thank you very much for your help,

    Hi Christophe,

    check it here and here. 

    Please note what the documentation says:

    In ansible.cfg file, ensure that ssh_args are properly set, so that ssh connection does not end up in a hang. For example, ssh_args = -o ForwardAgent=yes -o ControlPersist=30m -o ServerAliveInterval=45 -o ServerAliveCountMax=10

    Hello Andrey,

    I would like to thank you very much. 

    Now we are able to reboot our two test AIX partitions from the "controller node".
